You heard right!

I am taking a gorgeous girl out tonight...Dare I say it, there is serious chemistry. She lives just North of London, I live obviously on the coast. We're rendezvousing in a few hours time at about 8pm!!

Firstly, I'll be hopping on the train to Victoria but my question is, I'm assuming there is a Starbucks (outside of the station) that has a pleasant view by chance? We're both rather fond of frappacino's.

I heard Covent Garden will be gorgeous, any entertainers out today?

Also, we're both bookworms so love getting lost in literatures & all things that evoke history - Whether it's dusty huge librarys & bookshops to random places like car boot sales, that's our style.

We want something quirky & unusual to do for the evening? Any suggestions?

Gizmo, thank you! We got there for nearly 9 & it was EXACTLY what we wanted...Spent a good few hours there mingling together & getting lost.

She said for her it was the perfect night, therefore the advice was much appreciated! I had an awesome time too & definitely want to go the next time Lockstock is on!

Things have gotten a tad serious since then...She's reiterated how perfect that night was! We're meeting up again this weekend for the Notting Hill Carnival!

As cheesy as it sounds, she could very well be SWMBO at this rate. Bravo Gizmo! biggrin
